The options are daily or weekly. If you want to do hourly you would have to use some sort of third party software to backup the DB hourly but you would also need to shut down Spiceworks each hour to back everything up or risk corrupting the database and settings.

The options are daily or weekly. If you want to do hourly you would have to use some sort of third party software to backup the DB hourly but you would also need to shut down Spiceworks each hour to back everything up or risk corrupting the database and settings.

I'm not sure why you would need an hourly backup of Spiceworks as probably not a lot will change in 1 hour.

That being said, all the backup is is a zip file of the data and db folders so if you really want hourly backups, you could easily setup a schedule on the computer to back that up manually. This though would require some work to set it up at first but would do what you need.

Just curious why you need the hourly? General best practice is to schedule the backup shortly after the daily network scan finishes. Derek has the best answer here, the two folders he mentions are your unique data, so back them up with any third party tool and you can get any schedule you want.
